“I’d like to buy a new dipstick. Mine doesn’t reach the oil anymore.”

The really funny bit about that, this was the fix for high oil consumption on quite a few different heavy vehicle diesel engines. A longer dipstick meant the full mark was lower in the oil pan and this stopped the oil splash problem where the cycles were being flooded with oil and the rings could not scrape it all off each cycle. The high oil consumption settled down within a few weeks and no more complaints to the service dept
